he's appealed to the world to intervene to stop this bloodbath in kashmir that he foresees as a consequence of india's decision to revoke self rule special status for indian administered kashmir at the beginning of august now under curfew 8000000 people and hundreds of thousands of indian troops on the ground with allegations reports of abuses happening all the time imran khan had always said if he got to this place he would use the opportunity to highlight the old enmities around the relationship between these 2 countries and kashmir well they have spiraled to new heights of tension he's warning of the possibility not just of ethnic cleansing in kashmir but also of armed conflict between these 2 neighbors of course both nuclear armed he laid out his case he gave it lots of context it was very considered he accused india of rebuffing his attempts to reconcile it in a rather incendiary way he accused india and prime minister modi of following

a fascist agenda or an ideology of hate drawn from hitler and mussolini in the thirty's based on the purity of race and he believes the end goal here is the ethnic cleansing of muslims from the face of india take a listen now to what he said his appeal to the united nations and to the rest of the world to intervene. this is the best for the united nations you were the one who got in did the people of. mission. there are suffering because of that. and this is the time this is the time not to be like in 1039 this is the dime to dig action and number one action must be that india must live in human curfew. jonah it would be interesting to hear a report. but he actually spoke before prime minister kan and stayed away from the

subject. very conspicuously avoided any mention of kashmir he would have known the sorts of things that were about to come in from his to cons speech mr modi has risen nucleus said this is an internal matter he doesn't invite outside scrutiny he doesn't want it discussed openly his defense of what happened in kashmir is that he has done this to stamp out separatism terrorism as the indians see it fomented by pakistan and that this is all something that needs to be contained in turn really he did however under modi make oblique references to the idea of terrorism not mentioned mentioning pakistan and kashmir but clearly the reference was there he wants the world to stand united against it this is what he had to say. almost there. we belong to a country that has given the world not war but buddha's message of peace and that is the reason why our voice against terrorism to alert the world about this evil rings with seriousness and outrage we believe that this is one of the biggest

challenges not for any single country but for the entire world and humanity the lack of unanimity among us on the issue of terrorism against those very principles that are the basis of the creation of the u.n. and that is why for the sake of humanity i firmly believe that it's absolutely imperative that the world unites against terrorism. which during the course of this general assembly week both leaders have spent time with donald trump the u.s. president offering to mediate but only if they both ask for it there's no sign of india being prepared to do that and as this week wraps up now one of beautiful blue sky day here in new york a dark cold now hangs over the u.n. building with this warning from prime minister current both the possibility of ethnic cleansing and then the possibility of nuclear war john holl of the united nations general assembly thank you for all of that meanwhile hundreds of people in indian administered kashmir been holding a protest rally there in srinagar to demand u.n.

intervention in resolving the kashmir issue the process is hoping imran khan's u.n. speech would lead to some action. iran has released a british tanker that it detained 2 months ago in the strait of hormuz the seizure of the stayner impair over in july further escalated tensions in the gulf i said because our report from terror on. more than 2 months after being captured by iran's revolutionary guard the british flag tank istana in peril has now left the iranian port of blunderbuss tracking data shows the vessel has set a new destination for ports sheet in the united arab emirates iran accused the tankers crew of violating international maritime regulations its seizure was seen as a retaliation for british marines detaining an iranian super tanker off the coast of gibraltar to. iran is accused of attempting to deliver to syria in violation of its use sanctions against the regime the rename tanker was released last month and despite iran's reassurances to

a british court delivered its cargo to syria the release of the stern imperio is being seen as an attempt to ease tensions in the gulf and some say may be intended to make european leaders more receptive to iran's reposes for a new peace plan that's after iran deny devolvement in attacks on saudi oil processing plants yet this month rebels claimed responsibility but germany britain and france have all joined the u.s. and saudi arabia in accusing the iranians something u.s. president donald trump was keen to point out to the u.n. general assembly in response to iran's recent attack on saudi arabian oil facilities we just impose the highest level of sanctions on iran central bank and sovereign wealth fund. all nations have a duty to act. no responsible government should subsidize iran's bloodlust. iranian leaders have said they want to counter a new u.s.

led naval coalition in the gulf that the pentagon says will help protect shipping from further attacks they ring is also want to find a way to avoid u.s. sanctions on iran's economy lifeline. on that sports france has been working to save the 2015 nuclear deal that trump breakthrough from 16 months ago the joint comprehensive plan of action allowed to iran to trade oil in exchange for curbing its nuclear activities iran has been reducing its commitments to the deal saying european countries need to find a way around u.s. sanctions but european leaders appear to be growing increasingly frustrated with iran's failure to comply with parts of the deal u.s. sanctions against iran's oil and banking sector taking their toll president rouhani may be calculating that the release of the still in peril will lead to some relief for iran's struggling economy and show european leaders that engaging with iran can have positive outcomes aside big al jazeera that run in the news ahead on al-jazeera. is a country. that is the capital. u.s.

democrats search for anyone with evidence that president trump tried to get ukraine's leader to investigate his political rival. and other is to cloud in the sky over central and southern china but you master a little more development wise as some writing of a taiwan has some rain coming out of the high ground and maybe west in sichuan. i think we've now got months of residue dry stuff temperatures slowly forward currently we're in the high twenty's to the low thirty's this is to be expected now we still got very active monsoon rains with flooding fatal flooding in maharashtra but you can see it doesn't look as if it's there all the time is this hint of a circulation in the. once more so more rain is going to come and it spreads across

onto pradesh and right up to him a sharper dish as well which is a little bit late in the year for rain this part. shelling is the potential result of that that's the concentration of a the next say it's eased off a little in sri lanka but it might well come back again elsewhere in india and bangladesh some rain yeah i know it's late in the season this cloud spreads dross into quarter back toward southern saudi in yemen probably the result of tropical soccer in the landed in oman you might get showers out of it particularly i think in the high ground in the west as of yemen or saudi otherwise it's dry and getting slightly hotter.

like cancer ladies and experience the world like never before. is going places together. this is al jazeera and these are our top stories demonstrators and egypt are again calling for president. to step down protests have spread to several cities these pictures from anti-government protest in cairo police have closed off all entrances to tahrir square the heart of the revolution in 2011 there have also been protests

in support of presidencies. pakistan's prime minister montanans used his speech at the un general assembly to deliver an extraordinary attack on india's actions in kashmir he has warned the un to intervene to prevent war between 2 nuclear powered nations and iran's released a british tanker that had been detained in the strait of hormuz since july the stain imperative part of the port of. it is now an international it's. hundreds of former u.s. national security and foreign policy officials have signed a statement calling donald trump's a phone call with his ukrainian counterpart a profound national security concern is democrats are also appealing for more witnesses to come forward with any evidence trump asked ukraine's leader to investigate. political rival joe biden a whistleblower has also accused white house officials of trying to conceal the politically sensitive information about trump's call with voldemort zelinsky let's

turn to robert late now former general counsel for the director of national intelligence he's in our washington studio thank you for your time mr that what did you make especially in that position that you used to be and what did you make of proceedings yesterday very dramatic 3 hours we saw ron on capitol hill where does that leave you well i think that too much of the proceeding was devoted to trying to sort out and it and attack the director of national intelligence for not immediately turning over the whistleblower complaint to congress i think there's there's a legal disagreement between congress and the executive branch as to whether that was required or not i think the more important things that came out yesterday were the transcript of the call and the text of the whistleblowers complaint. the transcript of the call clearly showing the president urging the president of ukraine to investigate one of president trump's political rivals and it's at least

open to a reading that he was telling the president of ukraine if you want to the weapons you want to buy from us you have to do this for me which i think is an extremely troubling sad set of circumstances. hearing from the whistleblower then in some sort of setting would seem to be an important step now do you think that's going to happen. i do think it's going to happen i think it's i don't think the public is going to hear from the whistleblower because he's he through his lawyers or she has made very clear that the whistleblower does not want to be publicly identified but i think that the intelligence committees are going to hear from the whistleblower in a classified setting and i think it's the more important thing is to pursue some of the leads that the whistleblowers complaints identifies people at the state department who may have been involved in other conversations with ukraine people who can explain why it was that the president held up the aid to ukraine people who can say what on earth rudy giuliani was doing in all this i think there are other

leads to be pursued that should be pursued promptly what do you think of the republican reaction and donald trump's reaction it seems that whilst the democrats are going down the the forensic legal constitutional puff hey donald trump is going on the emotion of lime and calling it the greatest witch hunt to have i mean a lot of stuff we've heard already do you think the 2 arguments are even on the same page that one can be stronger than the other. i think it was very distressing that in the course of the intelligence committee hearing yesterday only one republican was willing to say that he found the content of the president's conversation unacceptable i think it's equally troubling to me that not a single republican was willing to stand up and defend the whistleblower for coming forward and you have a situation where the president of the united states is essentially accusing the whistleblower of treason suggesting that the whistleblower should be executed questioning the whistleblowers motivations people like the this whistleblower should be encouraged and protected to come forward through the system as this

person did and not attacked but is this just a case and i think it was actually adam schiff who said it yesterday that this is democracy in action as ugly as it might be yes it's a congressional committee but it's a it's drew you know there are political lines drawn down that committee and it's reflective of the country right at this moment. and that that's absolutely true and i think the question will be whether the congress can come together in a manner that says we're going to look at these allegations seriously we're going to put the good of the country ahead of our partisan interests and determine what actually happened here and what it means. it's been a pleasure talking to you on al jazeera today thank you for joining us thank you for having me now a former british prime minister from boris johnson's own policy has attacked the government's position on brags that john major fee is prime minister johnson could

next. my our longer lasting traditions and cultures. family centered lifestyle. my ethiopia is our authenticity.

we are definitely part of the reform process the reason i'm sitting right here is part of the reform process. the reason i've actually i mean. to really be gaged and be part of this conversation is part of the reform. you have always been known for there the past where we had an unfortunate. where we lost. people head and we have not done enough to change that.

our approach needed to change them brain now and this is the. right. hard to fit. in but when you need to reason that and i. got a. little lunch and i'm not going to dinner lang's. not so i think the you know so for of treason when do you know you'd end up its. vision we're going to win an ocelot and if we don't want it. if we want. to come and visit then we need to build our infrastructure and where are these infrastructures we need to build these conversation happening for real this time around within this period of time how do we need these sites out there not.

today we are going to look for sites that are. not just as a tourist attraction but also coming to development and coming in and learning about history we're also trying to see if the if we were going to do this and if people were going to come and find sites how would how easy would it be. i think there's a huge potential to this heritage to. revitalize. communities which is crucial because we are going through a rip a transformation in during this period we're just about to lose identity because

it's our own tradition an accurate picture that is a mirror reflection of our past. i mean this is a challenge so we take. the heritage. location doesn't really match with the picture so that's one reason we want to do the resource topic then we won't have to do this you know you won't have to go out to a scavenger hunt to see how to do that. and. and it does. i'm going to check all ph. they could take a bigger place this is the best thing i did last year for daily. paper daily.

chuckle daily the actual daily has out about every one of those the standard that you can buy. your product and be in and i will not let you go business with as i think about it if you pay me said i don't have a lease and i don't says let's send the letter we need to but i meant. going to both and still not be able. to win the game i'm looking for. beautiful not that it's also going well and. you know what i don't know but still.

this is a letter. oh it's just i don't remember what. the c o. city movie was made out of but yet. such was a is a mage soon. because i never thought i would only this seemed to be the chicken you think of. as your list. but you know when i was ok with. it i mean if you can get it was the old days do you have a list only. should you do me issue or should you manage to me is it going to be natural not just not is the domain decision was intended mikko digital and now just a motion as soon as you're going to see it was that if you didn't i guess.

there's so much history and so much culture that we hop that we have not preserved and we have not really used. we're losing them we're losing them in the process of modernization and the process of growth and that's it doesn't have to be that way we can always a grow that we can always go on alongside of protecting our history and really really using it for something much more than what it was originally designed for. as was i but as with your limited i believe that we've got our way but you know the rest of the double plymouth which in which. the show must get out of the wood is a tremendous music and a bus going to get a bus at night and then now that we're going to jump. in again and it would richard thank you so much richard the 2 reason to leave.

our stories have never been told by us the authentic interconnection has never been done completely by into pencils it was always has been someone else telling our stories telling our cultures telling our history telling our lifestyle. for us it's about dignity taking on the space and saying that really need to tell our story and we need to make sure it's still direct because it's ours. and. i grew up with 2 journalists in the house my parents so information was the new

stuff life favorite and they were talking about it so i grew up in a space where you know. you counts not but you've formed. because my mom was active and highlighting muslim moments rights that was being taught and communicated while i was growing up by the time i was a teenager and really knew how to balance it out and know that when to call off something to be something to address this is really happening you know from a very gender perspective and i need to address it versus this is just that and out of the authentic you know knowing enough understandings. that i don't gender dynamics works. my biggest challenge is the resistance to the transformation agenda we are agreed

through a transformation and there is a painful near where the start of school the comfort zone is going to go away so say to you we're not doing business as usual we're going to change because we're going to get better that's that they need to have this conversation about the because. productive to not. going to get them into nearly. as simple as that yes we would be happy if you could promote us and. come into office the 1st. piece i tried to explore would simply understand how things have worked before. and it was very. quick for me to recognise that especially with the private sector i have talked to recognise that a lot of was being done but nothing was coming out as fruitful and consult

a move to talk to know. which which part of our foreign country is a truism is going to be an economy current and it's going to have to bring impact so i took a lot of actions around that a lot of farcical interests were not very happy and duly so the newbie in the house asking his questions doesn't come off as. a nice. gesture you know people would say is it because you're a woman is that because of you're new to the govern this is if i look at it from that perspective i would start taking it very personally i see it's not so much about. what her present presented right now and that's the transformation. i take it from that perspective and. i believe that buy there was me be here as a woman are not this is agenda would have been

a fair business no matter what. younis queued up to number coming to demonstrate any meeting and i got a bit in the muck out of. the minute you might want to get the game and just let me know then it makes the economy. pretty much a very disease like. one of those streets that i'm a taking a break today but it's pretty. crazy schedule. i. i.
